  1. Live access to project updates & status.

    Following up with vendors sucks. With our Manufacturing Design OS, your project will get a project management board where you can see live updates and collaborate with our team. No digging through massive email threads.

  2. Design reviews that don’t take all day.

    You know that feeling when a 30 minute meeting only takes 10? Ya, we love it too. When we need feedback on a tool or layout design, you’ll get access to view and leave comments on your own time; when we meet, things move at warp speed.

  3. Curated sourcing, quality control, and delivery.

    It’s no secret that the largest timeline drag on a tooling design project is sourcing. By sharing our Manufacturing Design OS with our network of AS9100D manufacturing partners, we can expedite tooling production and eliminate quality-related delays.
